Chapter 68: [Blitzkrieg Poland] Real-time Map

Fang Ming couldn't help but curse, what the hell is this?!

However.

Hearing the NPC soldier's order, there were indeed some players who excitedly took shovels and ran to dig trenches.

Seeing this, Fang Ming's mouth twitched. Have these young masters never done manual labor?

Digging trenches and being this happy?

However, as a portion of players and NPCs were walking towards the designated direction.

Fang Ming looked down at the shovel in his hand.

Fine... let's dig.

Carrying the shovel, he walked towards the direction the NPC pointed. Looking at the sun in the sky, it was probably afternoon. The Empire launched the attack at dawn, which means there is at least ten more hours of preparation time.

Live stream.

The viewers in the live stream fully exerted their fun-loving nature, cheering Fang Ming on, telling him to work harder, as he was the first line of defense against the Empire. Fang Ming looked at the barrage, cursing while digging trenches.

[Emotion Value +2741]

[Emotion Value +1872]

[Emotion Value +....]

Zhao Ming kept receiving notifications of emotion values. Clearly, the players who entered the game first were already confused.

In the game area of Tian Sha Live, at least seventy percent of the streamers were in the state of common soldiers, and a small portion were randomly assigned as company commanders who could command a company because they had the rank of second lieutenant.

In Zhao Ming's Federation Headline account, comments were also constant.

[Laughing to death, luckily I'm at work, otherwise I would have run to be a common soldier too.]

[I knew this dog thing didn't have good intentions, sure enough.]

[This guy is really malicious. Being Prime Minister can't beat the Empire, let alone being a common soldier.]

[Luckily I kept an eye out and watched those streamers' live streams, otherwise I would have really been pitted.]

[Brothers, streamers have already discovered the vehicles, it's warhorses?!]

[Riding horses to charge tanks???]

[Holy crap, you could at least open tanks for us?]

Regarding Zhao Ming's character, many players remained skeptical. After all, for a guy who hadn't even shown his face, how much integrity could you expect him to have?

Now seeing other players and streamers go in to be common soldiers, many players had an "as expected" look.

This dog thief...

Just as many players were complaining.

On the official website of Polar Star Game Company, a live stream module was suddenly opened, and it was linked to Tian Sha Live, pinned to the top of the Tian Sha Live game area.

On the left side of the official website page was [National War], [Forces], [Deployment]. Clicking it allowed viewing of the force layout of both sides, as well as the original attack plan.

And on the right side, a dynamic map of the border between the Empire and Poland, each occupying half, appeared in the center of the screen.

Each circle and number on both sides represented a unit of both sides.

These circles and numbers were not fixed on the map but were moving slowly. The circles on the Empire side were constantly moving towards the Polish border. Although Poland had some movements.

But it was not as fast as the Empire.

At this time.

A prompt popped up in the live stream.

[Click on the army name to view the current army personnel and configuration.]

[Double-click to view the battlefield overhead perspective.]

Seeing this, many players already understood that this was a real-time map.

This aroused the curiosity of many players.

Compared to the confusion of collapsing inside the Prime Minister's office, this real-time map could better understand how the Empire speed-ran Poland.

After all, the map in the Prime Minister's office didn't move.

In Fang Ming's live stream.

Sitting by the trench he had just dug a bit, his consciousness entered the live stream, pulled out the Polar Star official website live stream, and placed it on the other half of the live stream.

Then he started trying to click on the circle representing the army code [25] on the map, and an introduction popped up immediately.

[25th Infantry Division]

[Units: 29th, 56th, 60th Infantry Regiments, 25th Artillery Regiment (no artillery equipped)...]

[Forces: 16824 people (players 2274 people)]

[Affiliation: Poznan Army Group]

[Commander: Shi Jun]

"Me???"

Not only was there an introduction, but there were also how many players were in this division, and it was commanded by Shi Jun?

Fang Ming double-clicked to zoom in on the infantry division.

Suddenly, from a hundred-meter overhead perspective, he looked down at the army moving slowly below. Although it looked very small, he could clearly see the direction of its advance, moving north to converge.

Fang Ming retracted the perspective, then clicked on the circle with the code [4] in the north.

[4th Infantry Division]

[Units: 57th, 58th Infantry Regiments, 14th Artillery Regiment, Machine Gun Company, Motorized Anti-Aircraft Company...]

[Forces: 14824 people (players 3274 people)]

[Affiliation: Poznan Army Group]

[Commander: Shi Jun]

Fang Ming clicked again, zooming in on the screen.

A hundred-meter overhead perspective appeared, and then... he saw a large group of people distributed everywhere, digging trenches hard.

The live stream was suddenly filled with laughter.

[Streamer, don't sit down, hurry up and move a few times, supervise yourself.]

[Laughing to death, is the overhead perspective this fun?]

[Six, so this guy Shi Jun commands two divisions?]

[Not just two, I checked, besides the one the streamer is in, the [17th] and [26th] Infantry Divisions nearby, plus two cavalry brigades, two light tank companies, are all commanded by Shi Jun. Don't you see they are all gathering towards the [4th] Infantry Division here.]

[Total forces of more than 70,000, players account for more than 10,000.]

[I thought it was just the few people at the start of the live stream. If there are more than 70,000 people, that's fine. I don't know if they can block the Empire.]

Can they block the Empire?

Looking at the barrage in the live stream, Fang Ming's mouth twitched, and he switched the perspective back. In his ears came the discussion of several players, one of whom should be a fan of Shi Jun, who was explaining:

"I heard Big Brother Shi Jun and other experts discuss this in the group before."

"As long as you dig deep and wide enough, you can bury all the Empire's tanks here."

Then he used the shovel in his hand to poke into the soft soil under his feet:

"Dig another half meter, and it will definitely make the Empire's tanks fall in and not be able to climb out."

"The essence of blitzkrieg is speed. Now that the tanks are stuck, are the motorized infantry behind going to charge with machine guns?"

A player next to him also nodded:

"That's true."

"I played other games before, also war-themed."

"In there, tanks fall into pits."

"Basically, they get stuck and can't move at all."

The player next to him said:

"Definitely, the Empire's tanks are only that high."

"Falling into a pit of more than a meter, two-thirds of it goes in directly, it definitely can't climb out."

Listening to their discussion, Fang Ming didn't understand, but Fang Ming understood the Empire.

With the performance of the Imperial generals in the plot, they wouldn't be troubled by such trenches, right?

However, they should still have preparation time here.

Because it's not the edge of the border.

So when the Empire attacks, it will still take a few days. But thinking more is useless. Looking down at the shovel in his hand, Fang Ming sighed.

Let's dig.

As time passed bit by bit, night fell in the game.

But no one rested, everyone was digging trenches, and the Empire's troops had all arrived at the border.

Dawn in the game.

The Empire's army began to cross the border line. This time, with preparation and some players' reminders, the Polish planes were not all destroyed, but the remaining number was limited.

And at the border, there were already Polish Federation troops colliding with the Empire's army.

Players were no longer complaining about Zhao Ming pitting them, but were all staring at the movements of the Empire and Polish armies in the game live stream.

Zooming in on certain places from time to time, watching from an overhead perspective.

In the live stream of the Polar Star Game official website.

At the bottom of the real-time map, the southern region.

This is where the players' eyes were gathered the most.

After the Empire's army crossed the Polish border, the speed obviously accelerated. Clearly, they had already started using [Blitzkrieg] to advance rapidly.

But... unlike the straight-through advance during the [Falanxi Campaign].

After advancing rapidly from both sides into Poland.

Several Imperial units began to gather at one point, cutting off and surrounding the resisting Polish army.
